Gladiolus tristis 
Gladiolus 
This year again we are listing several small 
flowered gladiolus species and hybrids which 
will be welcomed by the grower who appreciates 
grace and charm in a flower and to whom mere 
size is not a criterion. These are all very early 
bloomers and are useful for pot culture and for 
flowering indoors. They are not troubled by 
thrips because they are thru blooming by the 
time thrips become active. Delivery September 
thru November.

Glory Lily 
Charming climbing lilies from South Africa. 
Plant the long, finger-like tubers horizontally 
four inches deep in light sandy soil enriched 
witth humus. They will grow in full sunlight but 
will appreciate light shade. They will climb on 
strings or wires about three feet or more high. 
They bloom in the summer and become dormant 
in the late fall, when the tubers should be very 
carefully lifted out of the ground, stored away 
in a warm place over the winter. If grown under 
glass they can be rested for a short time and 
started again. Winter and Spring delivery. 
NEW SALMON. A newly discovered species 
not yet identified, and we are fortunate to be able 
to make it available to you. It is rather low 
growing compared with the others, but well 
branched, free flowering. The flowers open lemon 
yellow and soon develop a bright salmon color, 
which covers the whole flower. Very delicate and 
exquisite. Here is something really outstanding 
and rare. $4.00 ea., 3 for $10.00.
